C'est Fini!


"Buttercups" by Ben Fikkert. 
Thread: Lizbeth #80

Here it is!
All set to post to my friend as a surprise.

I am pleased; it turned out better than I had anticipated. This time, the Lizbeth gave me - dare I say it- no problems!

Actually, that is not quite true. I attempted to tat the little three-ring inserts in dark blue (which did not look good anyway) and the thread was MISERABLE! It ended up in the garbage can.

But the good news is that I preferred the original thread anyway, as it looked way better. : )

Those little 6ds rings took hours and hours to tat. This is the area where the dyslexic brain goes a tad haywire, the spatial reasoning skills being severely challenged . So frustrating! But look how wonderfully  they turned out!
Thanks, Ben Fikkert!

    Oh the finished work is exquisite, I could tell by your excitement before you started, about doing this doily you could in-vision this! I was not as excited about this pattern as you and Wow! I'm speechless sorta :)

    I Love the doily against the white background !!! It looks and feels so wooly, so cottony .... actually quite ephemeral . Exquisite tatting & colours . Another drum roll ;-)

    I think this may be the prettiest piece you've ever tatted!

    Wonderful! The difference the background makes is amazing. Both make it look good but the dark shows off all the details so much better. Great Job!

    Beautiful, one of your best pieces of tatting, usually I don't get problems with lizbeth thread but last week I found a flaw they had tried two ends together, right in the middle of me trying to fill a shuttle not best pleased.
    Love to Mr G
